บท 460: There Were More Injuries

[How did Her Majesty notice?! I tried to maintain my expression. Or did someone inform her about what that lady had been doing?]

'What?! So, this wasn't the first time?' Arabella fumed. Who would dare do this to her precious assistant?

"Ivan, who did this to you?" Arabella further inquired and Ivan gulped, fearing how he should reply. He hadn't even answered her first question yet.

[What should I do?] Ivan bit his lips.

[Your Majesty, it's clear with how he moved that he's hurting a lot in most parts of his body. But the visible parts had no bruises to show any sign of injury. It was intentionally avoided so other people would not see it. But the slap on his cheeks seemed to have been inflicted just a few minutes ago. With how he's hesitating to talk about it, he must have been threatened not to tell anyone.] Rendell thought. He knew Arabella would be able to hear his thoughts, so he answered her question since Ivan kept his mouth shut.

'What?! He is hurt that much?!'
